UDOG01 Rookie Author Hamilton Posts:11 Points:5,495 Joined:Feb 2007	Message Posted: Nov 25, 2012 3:48:28 AM Ignore UDOG01 Report Abuse Life is ALWAYS about "THE DEAL WITHIN THE DEAL" For example we all know the deal is my $20 for so much gas that you are selling it at . . . HOWEVER - the smart retailer says - I also have these coupons for;glassware money off dining at my fav restaurant money off the local event sports or entertainment money off Costco membership money off the local movie theatre. THERE should always be a deal within the deal Or do not got there Unless you are saving 18 cents a gallon like I just did for filling up at the station with he old look, old tanks, old technology. I am soooooooo cheap I would not pay 5 cents to watch Niagara Falls roll uphill!!!

blupupher Champion Author Houston Posts:3,690 Points:774,770 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Nov 5, 2012 6:14:43 AM Ignore blupupher Report Abuse Sometimes. Valero had a promo for "free" Red Box Movies with purchase of 44oz fountain drink, which I get occasionaly, so why not. Same for when they had their 12 packs of soda on sale, it is something I am getting anyway, so why not save a bit.

rocki00 Rookie Author Michigan Posts:24 Points:74,115 Joined:Jan 2012	Message Posted: Oct 31, 2012 11:00:40 AM Ignore rocki00 Report Abuse Only to go in and get my card to get 5 cents off a gallon at 7/11's. I never buy anything when I go in though. They jack the prices up to much on stuff when you buy from the gas stations. It's a joke.

bearzz Champion Author California Posts:1,568 Points:444,895 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Oct 29, 2012 10:04:56 AM Ignore bearzz Report Abuse I have to admit I had trouble with the term "promotional signage". Now it's obvious you meant advertising soft drinks, etc. I don't buy that kind of stuff so I didn't even think of it. My answer should have been never. Unfortunately, I was thinking of the price of gasoline. That's the only sign I'm interested in.

Kinglemuel Rookie Author North Carolina Posts:34 Points:552,215 Joined:Jan 2011	Message Posted: Oct 27, 2012 8:41:39 PM Ignore Kinglemuel Report Abuse I am more likely to intentionally avoid buying anything that is advertised at the pump, especially ads on the polls around the pumps. One time I dropped something and then hit my head on the sign when I picked it up.
